Overview

Task

The Measurement function permits the precise measurement of a workpiece using a measuring probe. Therefore, after the probe is triggered, the current axis position is saved.

In special cases, saving axis positions can also be triggered by other events such as a PLC signal or the detection of a fixed stop.

Effectiveness

The measuring function is initialised and activated for the axes programmed in the measurement block.

Programming

• G100 and G310 are used to measure a workpiece.
• G101 and G102 include measuring offsets caused by a previous measurement as an additional offset.

Parameterisation

The axis and channel parameter lists must be parameterised accordingly in order to use the measuring function. The drive type must be included.
